Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Narratives of contemporary Spanish writer Soledad Puertolas (1947-), inducted into the Real Academia Espanola in 2010, depict the psychological struggles of the individual in postmodern democratic European society. Puertolass realist style emphasizes storytelling and character portrayal, and her urban middle-class characters seek satisfying interactions with others and a sense of purpose. Memory aids characters in their quest for meaning and identity, and their use of memory reveals their self-perception and outlook on life. This book maps four ways in which Puertolass narratives use memory to approach the fundamental problem of the individuals search for purpose and identity.Some characters are burdened by memory in certain texts, especially Dias del Arenal (1992) and Burdeos (1986). Reflection upon a painful self-defining memory affects their present mood and behavior. For some, this burden causes them to withdraw or to act irresponsibly; others accept and overcome the scars of the past. A second type of character takes an escapist approach to memory, as seen in Queda la noche (1989). Their nostalgic retreat indicates a restless dissatisfaction with the present. In a third type of memory, a secondary character provides the organizing force behind a protagonists reminiscences, often an extroverted foil to highlight the protagonists introspective nature. Memory of the relationship motivates the protagonist to mentally order his or her own life through the life review process; Una vida inesperada (1997) and La senora Berg (1998) provide examples. Finally, in the amnesic mode, Puertolas departs from realism to experiment with different forms of amnesia, as in La rosa de plata (1999) and Si al atardecer llegara el mensajero (1995). Memory loss highlights the centrality of memory to personhood and identity, while at the same time it draws attention to the inadequacy of memory to explain the totality of existence. This study provides a comprehensive look at the writings of Soledad Puertolas, 2010 inductee into the Real Academia Espanola, and the ways in which the contemporary individual in Spain constructs meaning and identity through memory.
